Saturday Santorum, 7/2

Missed a few weeks, so even though I'm away for the 4th, I 'll squeeze out a few updates on Google's favorite former senator:

Meeting of the (deranged) minds - the Rickster on the Beckster, where Glen professed that he wanted to “kiss [Santorum] in the mouth.”

Santorum has figured out the motives behind gay marriage, “When you redefine marriage, you cheapen marriage. You make it into something less valuable, less special … [and] it is a sure bet that will undermine faith.” Hey dumbass, you need to look up the definition of "faith", if yours is strong it doesn't matter what others do.Oh yeah, he also urged, "Republicans to rely on faith and family to stand up against the government." WTF? Oh I guess that makes sense if you end up being head of the government.

It seems obvious that Ricky wants America to resemble some sort of 19th century Sicily, where patriarchs ruled by decree their women, families and towns w/o any interference from any government*, "Santorum continued to pummel Obama, accusing the president of being “fixated on accumulating power in Washington” and believing “government’s role is to control … rights.”
Insisting that the federal health-care law that Obama backs was the ultimate representation of this agenda, Santorum ripped into it.
“Obamacare is a game-changer,” said Santorum to the cheering crowd. He insisted the measure will “cede your freedom” to Washington and accuses the Obama administration of looking to make Americans “addicted to government.”

Ricky is also pretty paranoid, 'This time Santorum is arguing that the reason so few U.S. students perform well in U.S. history is because of "a conscious effort on the part of the left who has a huge influence on our curriculum, to desensitize America to what American values are so they're more pliable to the new values that they would like to impose on America."'

*the driving force between most of these wingnuts. It's their cultural link to Southern slaveholders. When they say freedom they mean the right to be medieval lords ruling over their manor the way they see fit.
